GT Motorsports: 370Z Supercharger system development

NewYorkJon34

Well I guess Stillen might be outta the picture for me, I was leaning toward them cus I thought it was going to be a twin-screw, but since it's going to be simalar to GTM's kit, I'm going to see which one will be more reliable for everyday driving. I'll be more then happy with 450Hp/350tq.

get back on over to the stillen thread we are breathing new life into the twin screw on the order of the brand new vts units from vortech. the now own part of opcon autorotor which is the number 1 oem supplier of twin screw blowers.

Have they clearly confirmed what kind of SC they're using other than saying it's a Vortech unit? At this point, it could be this centrifugal unit (SUPERCHARGERS: Vortech V-3 Series Supercharger | Vortech Superchargers) or it could be this twin-screw one (VTS Twin-Screw Supercharger Systems Featuring Lysholm Technology | Vortech Superchargers). I think the only clue they've given so far is that it's internally lubricated.

vortech is going centrifugal so COME ON SHOOTOUT!

Buddy Revell

Yeah, I just read the latest update on the other thread. I'd love to see a shootout as well! When we eventually see the dynos from both kits, I'll be looking especially close at how the power curves compare from 3000-6000 rpms and don't really care too much if one puts out a bit more peak power than the other at 7200-7500.

Peak doesnt mean a whole lot to me compared to how much gain there is thru all the rpm range. I want power that is there all the time and not just a high peak number thats there for a sec or two.

Now a question I have is how will a SC be different on a AT compared to a manual? Or since we can use the paddles would there even be a difference? Maybe some cuz the gears are alittle different?
